Painted Seasons – Gorgeous Paper!

Once I started working with the new Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper (FREE during Stampin’ Up!’s annual Sale-a-Bration promotion with just a $50 purchase of Stampin’ Up! products!!!) I had a hard time putting it away. In fact, even though I have to turn the office work table over to my husband tomorrow so he can get ready for the bridge games he manages, there are still a few pieces out there. Hope springs eternal that I can get yet one more project in before the table is no longer mine for a day or two!

For these three cards, I did something I rarely do – I made dark Cardstock the card base. This meant that I had to make an inside layer on which to write notes. So of course, I stamped that layer, and you can see the stamped layers peeking out a bit in the photos. I used the coordinating Painted Seasons Stamp Set. While the paper is available as a FREE Sale-a-Bration item with a $50 purchase, the stamp set is part of a bundle that’s available, also FOR FREE, but with a $100 purchase from Stampin’ Up!

For the cards in this suite, I used the same sheet of paper, and mixed and matched some of the fun 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon, in the Call Me Clover and Grapefruit Grove colors. I added a string of the Leaf Ribbon, which is also the Call Me Clover color, and in the card on the left, I feature the Whisper White 5/8″ Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon, with a snip of the Call Me Clover ribbon slipped through the knot of the Tulle. Then for the card on the right, I just used a piece of both of the 1/8″ Ribbons.

There are close up photos of all three cards here. I also included a list of the products I used for each one, both in this link as well as in the linked page for Monday’s post. I hope you’ll check them out!

My favorite part of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is teaching others to enjoy crafting themselves. Not only do I conduct classes in person, I write tutorials for teaching anyone who has internet access. No matter if you're in my area on the east side of Hawaii's Big Island or anywhere else in the world, let me know if there's something you'd like to learn!
